HALLAYLUYAH! George
I'd only seen ONE second pattern L/12 spange that I liked EVER
Finally I see another... yours
IMO 99.9% of these are fake. L/12 second pattern spangen are an extremely rare bird
I would love to see a serious close up of the date-box pebbling, eagle's inner thumbs, and just about everything in detail!

Hi Jon, saaawweeeeet!

My current camera is old and doesn't do so well with getting any closer. I'm hoping Santa will be good to me with a new one this Christmas! As soon as I get it figured out, I'll shoot the pics you requested.

[tinmantis]

can you hold a loupe up to the lens? this usual gets good results without a macro...
the area left of the numeral '1' would be priority

regards
jon

Jon, let's see if this is any better -

Jon, here goes! Let me know if there's other areas you'd like to see. Any observations would be appreciated.

thanks again George
that shot says it all!
IMO yours is a very rare and real L/12 spange
